Trump getting ‘nuttier and nuttier,’ campaign insiders say
nypost ^

Posted on 08/03/2016 6:51:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Donald Trump is getting “nuttier and nuttier,” according to those within the tycoon’s presidential campaign, who say they are increasingly frustrated by his outrageous comments and behavior.

The Republican candidate has been engaged in a prolonged war of words with Khizr and Ghazala Khan — whose son, a US Army officer, was killed in Iraq in 2004 — which many inside the presidential campaign see as, at the very least, a total distraction.

“I did not think he’d be great in a general election, and thought there’d be episodes of paranoia/irrationality, but this is surprising for me,” one Trump operative told The Post.

“Trump is getting nuttier and nuttier,” the person added.

I had to ‘try’ a new news show last night as I can no longer stand the rhetoric coming over the local network channels.
The news readers have to emote EVERYTHING...

The old I will sit here and read the news is over.
The day of the news reader being unbiased, and not full of ‘emotion’ for the subject is no longer.

When the person out of favor is mentioned the reader will scowl and spit the word out - for the favored it is smiles and a soft tone.

The annoyance (at least to me) is right up there with the candidates talking to the audience like we are a bunch of 4 year olds (although from the results, the people who at least will get off their duffs and VOTE have the mentality of 4 year olds when it comes to this stuff).
Then again, WE have absolutely no control over the grave yard and absentee vote count.

The ‘hit DT up alongside the head yesterday’ was in regards to his comments about a crying baby - apparently within range of being an annoyance.

The first time he sort of joked about it but the SECOND time he was a little more stern and gruffer - though I still think he was somewhat joking...if people don’t understand the droll sense of humor, it comes off as being very harsh. I go through that all the time....

As for the baby...in a very large crowd and a lot going on it may not be the ‘proper’ place for the baby BUT the ‘selfish’ crowd has gotten away with letting their 8 mo old be 8 mo old in church,restaurants etc so, why not a political rally?

At least have the decency and pretend that you care and attempt to leave the area for a few minutes.

I guess DT did NOT accuse HRC of planting the crying baby because if he had, that story would have been the lead and the headline...

So maybe he is toning it down a little....
The ‘old DT’ would have blamed HRC or Bernie ..... or Cruz etc etc

No honor, and they are evil. But it is impossible to compose a statement that can't be twisted somehow... It creates enemies, and there are so many falsehoods that it is impossible to correct them all.

Good points. We just do the best we can to combat evil, as you say.

Benghazi and crew are in panic mode. All of the crap they are trying to spread is not working and the “real polls” are demonstrating it. The “pimp polls” were recently modified to change the outcome for Benghazi (remember a couple of years when they changed the way GDP is computed to bring it out of negative territory ... last quarters GDP 1.2 - fake change of 1.5 = -.3 or recession/depression).

“Murdoch all in on defeating Trump”

It’s not just Trump. Trump is a populist leader. He has had unprecedented support in the primaries. Murdock loves power. If he defeats Trump he has defeated all of us.

I agree.

Trump needs to focus on her, relentlessly. Show how corrupt she is, show how incompetent she is - and then show how you are the complete opposite.

There is nearly a 70% rate of dissatisfaction with the direction in which this country is headed. Concentrate on getting the rest of that nearly 70% by staying on target, and the election will be a massive Trump landslide. Get taken off track by a substance-less attack coordinated between Hillary’s campaign and the media, and Trump will lose.

Mr. Trump, put the stake over her heart, and pound it in for all you’re worth! Don’t let up until the election is over, and don’t let them distract you with things that don’t matter.

Actually it’s to maintain the divide between whites and blacks in order to secure the black vote......which has been oozing slowly away from Hillary.

The Clinton and Obama Machinery is all about securing the minority voters......their theme “Together” is the call to minority groups as we have clearly seen throughout Hillary’s campaign and at the DNC production of parading them throughout the program.

They cannot win on Hillary’s record so dividing the country between “Them” and “us” is the agenda. While Obama opens the flood gates of S. American, Mexican and Muslim illegals with passage to vote via temporary amnesty now in play. And he has three months to secure that.

Sounds like a winning strategy to me. Hillary represents the status quo, the epitome of a Washington Insider who has mainly worked in various government or government-related jobs. Take a page from Reagan's closing comments in the 1980 debates: if you're happy with how things are going now, there is no reason to change. But if you are unhappy with the direction the country is heading, a change of leadership will counter that.

If you don’t see how Trump is hurting himself then you’re either biased or blind.

Should not surprise anyone as the warning signs have been everywhere. Trump cannot control himself. I see a time when his generals refuse a direct order because it is immoral or unconstitutional. I will vote for this nut because of Mike Pence, who I suspect will become president. Trump, besides being nutty, is a classic heart attack risk case— overweight, type A personality, red face.

Here in central Texas, the local media are all reading off the same script.
Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS local tv news and the AM news stations say exactly the same talking points about Trump.
Never thought I would see the soviet propaganda tool used in good old USA to support a socialist, communist, progressive hag run for office.
I am still voting for the Trumpster!!!!

But we must remember that the powers that be from both sides of the aisle are all forged against Trump now.....both here and abroad.... Obama and Hillary set that stage ever since 2008. ..and Bill and Hillary have been traveling the world setting the stage via their Clinton Foundation and Hillary as Sec. of State.

Additionally, if you noted, Obama stopped 'pushing" things thru awile back , instead he has sought moments when the population and Congress are otherwise occupied and distracted to "sneak" thru his agenda, particularly on immigration and anything which advances the World Order which Hillary will indeed carry this country into.

The election itself gives Obama "space" to manipulate his agenda through, Black life matters and the various protests also assist...as do the Islamic attacks happening frequently now. All of which they don't give a rats butt about, rather sees them as another distraction they can abuse.

Trump is absolutely right to be concerned the "system" is rigged because it is.... and will be for Hillary to be given the Crown of her lifetime at any cost.

Interesting is that Obama Himself is now, as a sitting President no less, lashing out at the Gop and Trump,....and the media is in full tilt to accompany him and the Clintons in securing the Presidency for Hillary....she CANNOT do so herself as her health will not permit it...

So Trumps going to be pushed in a corner and hammered on daily from now until the election......

Furthermore I do not believe all this hype about people not wanting Trump.....it's simply part of the agenda to hope Hillary will rise as the Only viable candidate, despite her record.

I suggest hats be firmly in place as this ride is going to be far more than bumpy.....it's going to be a deadly race as the life of the Demoratic and Republican stronghold in Washington is not going to let loose easily by any means.

Remember too, Trump mentioned some of his people will not be nice people, he's being honest because they won't be, he knows full well the "mobs" he's up against and is smart enough to bring those who know how to fight behind the scenes with the thuggary that is now Washington. Cruz used softer words..."The Washington Cartel"....but the meaning is still the mobs in control, along with the Islamic Muslims in official positions in our national security assisting...

Just as a reminder....sometimes the mobsters leave a trail when one might not be accomlishing what they wish in a timely manner.....

Broken ribs and serious facial injuries ....
